The wires on the trunk are there mostly for support, but there is more of a bend in the upper part then there was.
Also a single wire on the trunk really helps to keep you wiring neat.
I use the first wire on the trunk as a guide. It more or less determines how the rest of the wires go on.
I've also tried to consistently wire the tree from the bottom up, and from the inside outward.
And whaddaya know, all of a sudden I'm not running into trouble halfway up the tree.
I still haven't really decided on what the finished tree should look like,
I guess it is of a practice tree than anything else at the moment.
It was one of the first pieces of material i ever bought with the intention of making a bonsai out of it.
At the time I was reasonably satisfied with the result,
but I realize now, that if I want to get ahead in bonsai,
this kind of material only offers limited possibilties to advance myself.
